Buy this is you want a "remastered version" of this album...,

This review is from: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (U.K. Version) (Audio CD)
if you want an upgraded/punchier/clearer/louder sound, you cant go wrong here. it is the best sounding version of this album to date. i also have the new uk boxset and this sounds identical to disk one of the boxset (both are mastered from the analog master to my knowledge!?).

This review is from: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (U.K. Version) (Audio CD)
"Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" is one of my all time favorite rock n roll albums.
As such, when I found out that the UK actually DOES have a remastered version of the album out, I imported it and now have two copies, the other being the one released in the US. The differences? 1. The UK version's cover is pink and yellow, the US is green and red. 2. For some reason my import copy has "God Save The Queen" at track 5 and "Problems" at track 6, instead of it being the other way around like on my US copy. I have no idea which track listing is accurate to the original release. 3 (and most importantly). The UK remastered version is a step up on the US version sonically. While the US mastering sounds decent enough, listening to it side by side with this version, I find this one is a crisper, slightly louder sound. Overall it sounds less muffled than the US release and the bass lines seem a bit more distinct. Its not a HUGE difference from the domestic version that I've been enjoying for years, but it is different enough to my ears to make me very glad I bought this import. If you're a HUGE Pistols fan from the US like I am, you'll probably appreciate the sonic upgrade you'll hear on this version of the album. Either way, if you've NEVER heard this album, you need to. Its absolutely essential to any rock n roll/punk music collection.

Hold On To Your Older CD,
By Andréas (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (U.K. Version) (Audio CD)
I feel stupid. I bought this remastered version at the store the other day for almost twice the price of the un-remastered version, excepting better sound (and it also had nicer packaging). Boy, was I wrong. The remastering renders the album with almost no bass whatsoever. Really, I almost can't hear the bass guitar at all, except maybe on Submission, but it's still way too soft and flat even on that song. With no bass to hold the sound together, the guitars and drums end up sounding like noise coming from a cheap radio.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the music itself, but I'm thinking about returning this version for the earlier and cheaper Virgin CD, which I've heard is supposed to sound much more like the original LP. Some people may really like this remastered version (like the reviewers who gave it more stars) and that's great, but for me, it just doesn't work.
